2009 Nissan Note 1.6L Petrol · LS59 FNZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the car passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 114,965 miles, the immediate failure just one day prior indicates significant neglect of basic safety consumables. The trend shows a recurring failure to address suspension and tyres, with coil springs and tyres failing repeatedly across multiple years, suggesting the previous owner only addressed faults when forced to by the MOT tester. At 114,965 miles, this 17-year-old Nissan Note has averaged approximately 6,700 miles per year, which is consistent with typical light usage for a family vehicle. The data shows steady annual mileage, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between the December 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,600 miles before the December 2025 inspection. This low annual mileage does not prevent the degradation of rubber components and metal parts, which are showing signs of age and wear despite the low odometer. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the record shows fractured coil springs on both the nearside and offside sides between 2023 and 2025. The 2023 advisory regarding worn inner suspension arm bushes suggests that multiple front-end components are nearing the end of their functional life. Furthermore, the repeated failures for tyres with exposed cords and uneven wear indicate potential alignment issues or a consistent failure to monitor tyre tread depth. A physical check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust system is also essential, as older Nissan Notes are prone to structural rust as they age.
